AOSOM recalls wooden playpens

AOSOM LLC, of Tualatin, Ore., has recalled about 5,000 Wooden Playpens. The wooden playpen can break, split and/or crack at points where screws and other hardware are located. Small, broken wood pieces and hardware from the playpen can pose a risk of choking and laceration hazards to children. In addition, an unstable playpen can fall over onto a child, posing an entrapment hazard. AOSOM has received 69 reports of the wooden playpens breaking, splitting and/or cracking including one report of a child mouthing a piece of the broken wood and three reports of children found with a broken piece of wood and/or screw in their hand. The objects were removed without injury. This recall involves AOSOM wooden playpens made from pine wood. The firm’s logo “A” and “www.AOSOM.com” is stamped on the gate of the playpen.

The playpens were sold online at AOSOM.com, Amazon.com, eBay.com and other online retailers from October 2008 through November 2010 for between $30 and $150. Consumers should immediately stop using the wooden playpens and contact AOSOM for instructions on how to return the product and receive a full refund.
